There have been squeegee men in San Francisco for years. They usually leave your windshield worse than it was before.
Years ago, there were always kids on their bicycles who would meet Americans coming across the bridge from El Paso to Ciudad Juarez and offer to "take you to the marketplace" for some spare change.
One time, some of the kids told my uncle they would watch his car for fifty cents. He paid up, thinking it was a shakedown, like paying protection money to the mob.
When he came back, he realized they were offering to WASH his car. He felt guilty that he didn't give them more money because they did a great job and it was cleaner than he had ever seen it.
